Anthropic has introduced a new feature called Personal Finance for its AI chatbot, Claude, allowing users to connect their bank and credit card accounts to analyze spending and track bills. Available in beta to Pro, Max, and Ultra subscribers in the US, the feature uses Plaid for read-only access, ensuring users' banking passwords remain private. Users can ask questions about their finances in natural language, and the chatbot can provide summaries, categorize spending, and explain financial terms. Anthropic emphasizes that Personal Finance is not for investment advice and that users should verify important figures with their bank. The feature does not use conversations for model training and does not offer ads, credit cards, loans, or savings accounts. Anthropic is exploring partnerships with licensed professionals and regulated firms to enhance financial advice capabilities.
The Personal Finance feature in Claude aims to help users understand their finances without direct interaction with their bank accounts. By connecting accounts through Plaid, users can ask questions about their spending, upcoming bills, and financial terms. The chatbot can generate spending charts, expense calendars, and budget breakdowns.
